Description of the municipality

According to history, Pejë/Peć was ﬁrstly part of the Illyrian Dardania, later under the Roman Empire, then Byzantine Empire, afterwards it became a part of the Ottoman Empire. The antique settlement in the locality "Gradina" has a great signiﬁcance for the history of Pejë/Peć, because it undoubtedly represents the continuation of an earlier Dardan settlement. A number of archaeological objects have been found that prompted us to conclude that there must have been an administrative municipal centre in the Valley of Dukagjini. The customs terminal or customs points is located in Pejë/Peć. Since 2013 local elections, the Municipality of Pejë/Peć is led by Gazmend Muhaxheri, who comes from the Democratic League of Kosovo.

Description of Municipality

Municipality of Vushtrri (Vicianum) as it was named under the Illyrian name, is an ancient locality, which dates from the Middle Ages, even before the Roman Empire, respectively from Dardan times. Viciana at the end of the Ist century BC was conquered by the Roman Empire. During the Roman conquest period (I-V) Viciana had reached a considerable economic and cultural development. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Viciana remained part of the Byzantine Empire. In 1054, after the division of Christianity into Catholicism and Orthodoxy, the majority of the population of Viciana was Catholic. In the XIV century the Ottoman Empire started to conquer the Balkans and thus Vushtrri fell under its rule. During the XV-XVIII centuries, Vushtrri was among the largest cities in the Balkans, in the Ottoman Empire and the centre of the most important Sanjak of the Ottoman Empire. During the First World War, respectively during the years 1915- 1918, Vushtrria was occupied by Austro-Hungary.
